In Memory of My Brother Dublin

About Me

Hi! I'm a Black Lab / Newf mix named Randi Sue, but you can call me Randi...I'm 9 years old & my burpday is 12-30-1999. I've lost 35 pounds over the last two & a half years & have kept it off! I now weigh in at a very sleek 85 pounds. My littermate brother, Dublin, passed over to Rainbow Bridge on March 29, 2007 & I'm still a bit lonely - so visit me when you can & keep me company! WOOF!

A Kind & Gentle Soul...

I had to get my shots updated this week & since Winton & I go to the same vet for that...guess who came along? I was my usual cool self...Vets don't bug me much...except when they want to see my beautiful black behind for activities other than rump rubs...but I tolerate it cuz I'm such a kind & gentle soul. Here I am above hanging out at the vet...They changed their treats in the treat jar to something really tasty...I had about 10 of them...Well, Wincompoop (aka PipSqweek...real name Winston, my cousin) needed to have his nails trimmed & he went POSTAL - PSYCHO - take your pick! They needed 3 vet techs to restrain him - & still couldn't get the job done..now he has one paw with short nails & the other three are still razor sharp. Oh, & the pièce de résistance? He sprayed his anal fluid from his anal sacs like a skunk & got it all on the techs! Oh - the stench was unbelievable...& he had to ride home in the car like that - stinking everything up... So now he is hanging with us for the weekend...his peoples went on a little get away...& funny thing is, I'm trying to get away from him too!

Here I am at the doggy wash a couple days ago...the water is too cold outside to bathe al fresco..so my mom/secretary takes me & I have nice warm bubble bath...I even let her use the blower on me...I HATE THAT THING...but as long as she didn't get it in my face...I tolerated it...again...a kind & gentle soul I am... Pippa asked me yesterday if I like balls...I like tennis balls, squeeky balls, footballs, big balls, little balls...you name it..I like it...but I don't think I'd like these balls that Nanook & Pooka's mama are talking about...they might scare me & I might not be so kind & gentle then... Here is a glorious booty shot for all you to enjoy...LET THE RUMP RUBS BEGIN!

Hey Randi, J1 was laughing at the thought of travelling in a car with anal gland juice. Personally, I think it would be pawsome! Hope Winston is OK after the trauma of nail cutting! I don't like it much either. J x

Randi, Once again, we are exactly the same. I am so good at the vet. I'm not particularly happy, but I go along with everything because of those damn treats. But I did pull a Winston once, when they had to lift me onto the xray table. I was pretty freaked out about that. I don't like being up on things, unless they are big snow hills. I love to poop at the top of big snow hills.

I know how Winston feels about the nail clipping. I do the same thing if my parents ever (stupidly) try to clip them. When the vet techs do it, I have no problem whatsoever, as long as Mommy and Daddy aren't there!

Pee Ess: I'm a little behind on blogs, and I just wanted to make sure I told you to tell your mom that she is not weird for saving whiskers in a baggie. My parents save Clover's and my whiskers in a special tall skinny shot glass on the counter in the kitchen!!!

Hi, RandiNice butt shot!I don't have a problem going to the vet either!I just can imagine how stinky Winston was!I wish I had a bath but here is very cold and my mom refuses to give me one!Kisses and hugsLorenza

hi Randi, you made our mom laugh and snort when she read about the anal juice getting squirted all over the vet techs. we bet that Winston is not their favorite dog there after that. after that, we understand why his parents wanted to get away for a few days. and you are a kind and gentle soul. you never do anything bad, you are a sweet girl with the most sexy white ankle sox.

Hi Randi.... Oh our Mom wishes that we had a doggie wash around here. She hates giving us baths in the bathtub and having to bend over the tub and all. We have a brand new petsmart that is opening in a few weeks and we are hoping that they have a doggie wash in there that we can use.

oh my, what an awful thing to happen, the anal spray! Jeannie says it gives her the "baulk" (makes her feel sick - Sorry Scottish expression!) when I get it done at the Vets - let alone being sprayed by it!

That anal sack juice is mighty nasty stuff. As my vet says, "A little goes a long way." My girl had to take my buddy, Lady, to have her butt sacks squeezed empty and she can attest to that factoid.

My girl also likes to bathe me al fresco, but it's a little too cold for that here and I WILL NOT get into the tub at home, so I too get to go to the dogwash. I'm not too fond of the place, but it's better than freezing my patootie off outside.
